It's my turn again to show you one of the projects I made for Create with Connie and Mary's Preview Week 2…this week we are featuring the stamp set Fang-tastic, single stamp Midnight Raven and Spooky Nights Decor Elements. I have a FREE STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL over on Create with Connie and Mary for you to print and and use to make this Countdown to Halloween project!
AND…it is MY turn to give away BLOG CANDY! Yes, if you entered last Tuesday, you are welcome to leave a comment here again for a chance to win! (I got my Tuesday's mixed up! lol!) But…I'll also honor those that did leave a comment last week…it was good hearing from you anyway! But…I'd love to hear if you like THIS project! Everyone will be entered into a drawing to win a FREE subscription to Create with Connie and Mary. But…don't worry…if you've already signed up, we will refund your fee!
OK…I must admit that I really was jumping up and down when I finished this project. It turned out exactly like I had pictured in my head! It all came from seeing a package of gum laying on my desk. Of course, at that time I didn't have the stamp set, Fang-tastic, in my possession yet. But…I thought the little witch and dracula were just TOO cute for this Countdown to Halloween treat! But…what is inside? Not more candy…no…how about…sugarless gum! I used Eclipse brand…but any one that has 12 on each package would work. It gives you a 24 day countdown when you use two packages…or just use one pocket and package for a 12 day countdown!
Isn't it cute??? I love how it turned out. I won't go into details here. The supply list and directions are over on the FREE TUTORIAL on Create with Connie and Mary! Make sure to sign up while you are there! Remember, we are having an Early Bird Subscription Savings of $5 off the regular price of $39.95, so you can JOIN US now for $34.95 but only until Saturday, September 25 @ 11:55 PM ET.

WOW! How cute is this idea? I love how real the spider web is looking. The talent out there is just amazing, I feel like a kid in a candy store for hours at a time browsing all these wonderful ideas. I got candles and dominoes out last night to find my brand new staz on pad to be dry and I can't find my refill, we just moved… Now, I have some cute lil goodies to make for Halloween. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us. :o)
